A Union Member’s Cartoon: Just because I'm no longer a shop steward , don’t think I’m not paying attention to what happens in our union and in my work site. However, since the disappointment of SEIU's UHW trusteeship in January and the brief flurry of hope (dashed) when we thought our open contract would allow us to vote for NUHW, it's been a time of watch and wait. It's been a period of lying low, not paying dues in the usual way, not participating in SEIU events - oh, wait, there weren't any! Well, now it's time to look at life under trusteeship via cartoon:
Cartoons of Life Under SEIU Trusteeship can be found at:
